Freedom – Page 11 – न चैकं तदन्यद्द्वितीयं कुतः स्या न्न वा केवलत्वं न चाकेवलत्वम्। न शून्यं न चाशून्यमद्वैतकत्वा त्कथं सर्ववेदान्तसिद्धं ब्रवीमि

Where are those lights?

October 28, 2008 Kishore Kalisipudi Comments 7 comments

Today being Diwali, the most cherished and jubilant festival of India has always left good memories to me. When I was in India, I joined everyone in the relentless wait of celebrating Diwali with great zeal and utmost joy. Of all the festivals, probably Diwali is the only festival that truly fills light in everyone’s lives. Fondly called ‘festival of lights’ by the west, India celebrates yet another with the same fervor and enthusiasm. And, sitting thousands of miles apart,…

Chandamama

October 21, 2008 Kishore Kalisipudi Comments 0 Comment

The closest celestial object to Earth which we fondly call Chandamama, will soon receive a visitor from the land which believes it to be a God. India’s ISRO is launching Chandrayan, its maiden journey to the moon is a historical event both with respect to ISRO spatial capabilities and scientific research. A wonderful subject of interest from God knows how long ago, our cultural integration with moon was always enchanted. The mythological importance of moon had ever imposed long lasting…

The Golden Apple

Due to my present working assignment, I have been using Mac Book Pro for around 2 months now. For 16 long years, PC dominated my work environment and honestly I got used to that. So during these few weeks, involuntarily, my brain has started comparing both these machines, apple to apple, no I guess I should say PC. Mac is a wonderful machine no doubt, sleek, beautiful, slender and built like a rock. So far the OS has been good…

Chanakya’s Wisdom

October 20, 2008 Kishore Kalisipudi Comments 0 Comment

Let me tell you something up front, this article is not about History or Chanakya in particular. Its just that we are turning a leaf of that great genius and quoting it here. When Chandragupta was young and being trained by Chanakya, on their way a thorn was stuck in Chanakya’s leg. Being a person who does not loose any opportunity to teach Chanakya, he quickly grabbed the pinching thorn by his hand out of his leg and did not…

A great man & a great sport

October 17, 2008 Kishore Kalisipudi Comments 0 Comment

Let me first congratulate Sachin Tendulkar for crossing the mile stone that another great man had set; highest Test runs in the history of Cricket. I did not watch every ball he played (I live on the other side of the ocean(s) and had to forgo my sleep for a while) but what ever I could, it was nothing less than a masterpiece. Adding more music to my ears was Ganguly batting with him on the other end. They were…

… and I said

October 17, 2008 Kishore Kalisipudi Comments 1 comment

When freedom personifies an action, it yields ‘words’. God gave the gift of expression and I catalog it…blessed I am. There is nothing under the sky not to know and understand and, in my quest of that journey, I have learnt and learning. This blog is my ‘freedom’ than anything else. I can be wicked and wiz, dumb and dormant, express and elate and yet be ‘free’. Welcome to my freeeeeeeeeeeeeedom. Now reading Bhagavatgita Transliterated by Jaya Dayal Goyandka

Policomy

October 17, 2008 Kishore Kalisipudi Comments 0 Comment

The recent fiasco over the Nano project pulling out of Singur, West Bengal is a peffect example of policomy. Wonder what that is? It stands for Political-Economy. Policomy is a social culture developed over past few centuries in India and still remain rooted. It is true that progress is something that cannot be stopped, it can olnly be paused and two Ms were standing on either side of the carpet had given us more than a reason to think, what…

Where are the books?

October 17, 2008 Kishore Kalisipudi Comments 0 Comment

I am writing this to motivate myself, I am writing this to blame myself and I am writing this to be read by myself. I cannot put the onus on anything other than me, to have shed the habit of reading books, such a shame! An avid reader once, I wonder where had that Kishore gone? Lost in the life? I remember those days when me and my mom used to read so many books that the librarian had to…

Ātma

I am privileged that at least my blog name has its place in a great soul, which I am ever fascinated with called Mahatma Gandhi. On the eve of his birthday, the 2nd of October 2008, it gives me immense pleasure to remember him once again dwelling his enormous and spectacular personality, politely referred as the ‘Father of the Nation’. He left us with a religion, which is probably the simplest on the planet to adhere to, but would require…
